First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Material is destructive to tissue of the mucuous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Cough, shortness of breath, headache, nausea.
Thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water. Do no rub affected area. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of skin contact, wearing rubber gloves rub 2.5% calcium gluconate gel continuously into the affected area for 1.5 hours or until further medical care is available. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Symptoms: Contact with the liquid the may cause cold burns/frostbite.
Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get immediate medical advice/attention. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes.
Symptoms: Direct contact with the liquefied gas may cause severe and possibly permanent eye injury due to frostbite from rapid liquid evaporation.
Due to its physical form, exposure to this chemical is not likely. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth out with water. Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get immediate medical advice/attention.
Medical Treatment
Treat symptomatically.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Alcohol resistant foam. Carbon dioxide. Dry powder. Water spray. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
Contains gas under pressure; may explode if heated. Reacts with water, generates gases or heat.
In case of fire: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
Firefighter Protection
Wear gas tight chemically protective clothing in combination with self contained breathing apparatus. For further information refer to section 8: "Exposure controls/personal protection".
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Ensure adequate air ventilation. May cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing. Do not breathe gas, fumes, vapor or spray. Only qualified personnel equipped with suitable protective equipment may intervene. Gas/vapor heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at or below ground level.
Avoid release to the environment.
Ventilate area.
